  We went to Gandolfi Fish on the recommendation of some locals we were working with. It was a great suggestion as it was quality food, great service and a nice restaurant.The Fish and Chips (haddock) were the best I’ve ever had. Highly recommended.

  Ate here on Saturday night for a birthday dinner.We were extremely impressed with all the food on offer. Everyone was very happy with their meals, my West Coast Crab starter was fantastic, I tried some of the scallop and black pudding starter and it was really outstanding – I highly recommend it! The mains were very good, the salmon Wellington was especially great. There was a nice selection of wine. Waiting staff were very helpful and patient when we took a bit long to decide!

  It was a wet and windy night when we arrived and I had a stinking cold so I wasnt in the best of moods. This improved slightly when we were seated at a nice, roomy table in the middle of the bustling restaurant instead of a tiny one next to a draughty door (double doors to keep draughts out should be made mandatory in restaurants in my opinion!). We ordered drinks beer for him and homemade Gandolfi St Clements for me. If only they could get in on Bar Gandolfi & Cafe Gandolfis St Mungos on tap then I would have a very happy husband. In the end we both decided on the pre-theatre menu as it was a Thursday and we should be at home eating beans whilst saving for the holiday but we are just no good at it.After ordering our waiter brought us over some bread & butter and it occurred to me how underrated this gesture is now. I admit that I can be quite an excitable person, but I do always feel like a freebie like this in a restaurant lifts my spirits. Straight away it gives me a positive angle and keeps me entertained until dinner arrives. I know that this is why restaurants probably do it in the first place but, instead of being cynical, I embrace it. Homemade bread gets you extra brownie points but bought-in stuff will still make me smile.The soup of the day was cauliflower & wholegrain mustard so I went for that to warm myself up. First of all I noticed that it was really smooth so that appealed to me as I like a blitzed soup. It was full of flavour and I really enjoyed it definitely one that I would order again.The other starter that we chose was the smoked mackarel pate with salad and toast. I like mackerel but the bones are a pain so this makes things much easier. It was smooth, rich and fishy so therefore a success.We actually both chose the fish pie for main course. Not because the other options were sounding duff but just because we enjoy a well made fish pie & we thought this could be somewhere that would deliver just that. I enquired about what is in the pie because I dont like salmon & was told that it would be no problem to make me one without. It also had white fish, prawn and scallops so there was going to be more than enough to keep me going. It was in a creamy sauce and topped with a buttery mash top that had Parmesan cheese melted on top. It was the ultimate comfort food that I had been longing for. Enough said.Whilst we were in we also looked at the main menu & saw lots of dishes from it pass us. Everything certainly looked appetizing and we will return on a special occasion or payday for an a la carte feast.We rounded the meal off with a tawny port (me) and a cognac (him) then jumped in a taxi from the handy rank outside. Resisting nipping up to Bar Gandolfi upstairs was difficult but we managed it this time.Admittedly I would have ventured into Gandolfi Fish anyway, but Hugh made me see the place through different eyes & I appreciated the thought that goes into my food before it reaches my plate.
